The plot is now looking bindweed free. However, there's so much root in the ground that it's going to be a never ending exercise.

Anway, it's weed-free today

Hi,

I have just discovered bindweed-a-plenty on tbe bottom-half of my plot, The sunny weather seems to have brought it out in force - blooming stuff. Although I must be thankful as our section of the allotments doesn't have marestail!

Sadly, despite our best efforts, bindweed is a lifetime battle, with the bindweed continuing after we're gone.

My allotment is bindweed weed........ Wahey!

That is until I just took delivery of some horsemuck which is full of the stuff.........Sigh. :cry:

I do find it strangely relaxing getting bindweed out of the ground. Levering it up by putting the handtrowel under it, it seems to come out beautifully when its small.

Shouldnt let it get that bad. Keep on top of it man

I too find it relaxing to pull huge chunks of bindweed out, me and my son have a competition to pull the longest piece out every time we visit :-)
needless to say he always wins
luckily however, its on the community garden bit and not on my beds (though sometimes it appears and it whipped out forthwith!)

3 metres was my best effort !!!!!  :shock:  

Strangely enough ... this is my third year on my plot here, and I think apart from the odd patch I might ... repeat might ... have got control!!  

The bits that I dig out now are tiny bits that I had missed or left from last year.  Origianlly we were digging down two feet to get to the beast!  :twisted:   It is certainly much weaker now !
